In 1995 Phyllis Zusman and a couple of friends were training for their first Portuguese Water Dog water trial. They took the list of required equipment, and started on, what felt like, a scavenger hunt. After looking all over the country for everything on the list, Phyllis decided there had to be a better way, and in 1996 the 4myDogs.com website went online.

4MyPWDs (aka 4myDogs) made its first appearance at a PWDCA Specialty in 1997. By then the selection of merchandise had grown, beyond water equipment, to include stuff for performance dogs and their teammates, gifts and books.

4MyPWDs grew to be the largest source of PWD items in the world and today we have customers in the US and Canada, Australia, and Europe.
